For matches where teams do not have the minimum numbers at the scheduled start time but Players are still due to arrive, the game shall commence but with reduced Player numbers on each team. Teams must still have equal numbers on the field. After the required 15 minutes (or quarter time in the Under 12 s) if minimum numbers are not achieved, the match becomes a scratch match Starting times will be agreed between the HOST Club and Regional Committee and advised as follows: As per the draw for all matches.

The HOST Club and Umpires will ensure strict adherence to the quarter breaks Where a possible serious injury occurs to a Player and the Umpire calls a halt to play, the game will not continue until qualified medical personnel have removed the Player from the field. If the game is abandoned and the playing time of the game played is greater than two (2) quarters, then the final scores will be taken as that at the scheduled finish time. If the playing time is less than two (2) quarters and if the Coaches cannot agree on final scores and a winner, the game will be postponed and rescheduled if possible. Bad Weather (Pg 27 & 39) In the event of dangerous weather (e.g. lightning or hail) or other life threatening events, the game may be terminated by the Ground Manager. If the playing time of the game played is greater than two (2) quarters, then the final scores will be taken as that at the scheduled finish time.

Play should cease if lightning is seen in the vicinity of the playing field. No risks should be taken in this regard When a match is stopped due to these circumstances, the result of the match is to be governed by the Laws Rule Incomplete Match. Player Numbers (Pg 23 & 24) Player Numbers 10.5 In all cases, teams must have the MINIMUM number of Players available at the scheduled commencement of a match to constitute an official match (Refer also Rule 11.2) AFL SJ strongly recommends that Clubs encourage the participation of Players in the game of AFL. To allow this, teams are encouraged to minimise reserves and to have the highest possible number of Players actually involved in the game on the day If during the course of a game, a Player injured has to leave the ground but there are no replacements in that team, the Field Umpire and opposition Coach are to be advised accordingly. The other side is to remove a Player to keep the numbers on the ground even (except for send offs). For a Player returning to the field, the same process in reverse applies To encourage maximum participation and teams to stand alone in terms of Player numbers, the term Match # specifies the ideal number of on-field Players per team. Where a team does not have the number of Players shown as Match # (and the other team has more than the first team), then it is compulsory to borrow/loan available players up to the Match # for all ages and Divisions (where present), except for Division The following table shows the on field Minimum, Match # and on field Maximum by Age Group for all Regions. For minimum player number games, especially for school holidays, ground sizes can be reduced after agreement from Umpires and Coaches of both teams, to suit the number of Players on each team, ie. agree on

10 SYDNEY JUNIORS AFL GROUND MANAGEMENT GUIDE PAGE 10 an Under 12 sized field. During school holidays, to assist Clubs to field teams, the minimum and match numbers below can be reduced by two (2) Players, as advised by the Regional Committee In circumstances where both teams have more than the maximum on field, for an age group, it is compulsory to play all available players up to the maximum, unless otherwise agreed by both Coaches. Age Group Min Match # Max. on field Max. Interchange U 9 - U Unlimited U11 - U U13 U17 Div 1 & 2 15 Div 3 13 Where no Div Youth Girls U Unlimited Youth Girls U Unlimited Send off Process (Pg 22) 9. Send Off/Order Off 9.1 For the purposes of this Rule any send-off will result in the Player concerned remaining off the field for a period of time equivalent to one quarter excluding breaks between quarters (see Rule 11.10). For example, a Player sent off five (5) minutes before halftime in an Under 13 game would be permitted to resume playing ten (10) minutes after the third quarter commenced. In this instance, the Umpire will hold up a Yellow card 9.2 A Player or Official who breaches any of the Laws twice in the same match for separate incidents, or where there is a serious breach (such as those listed, but not limited to, that in Rule 9.3), shall be ordered from the field for the remainder of the match. In this instance, the Umpire will hold up a Red card and must report the Player or Official. A Player sent from the field with a red card must leave the field completely and cannot sit with the interchange Players or the Coaches. The Umpire will recommence the game once the Player has left the playing field. 9.3 Serious breaches include where a Player or Official: Intentionally, recklessly or negligently makes contact with or strikes an Umpire.

Intentionally, recklessly or negligently kicks another person. Commits an act of misconduct, if the Umpire is of the opinion that the act constituting misconduct is serious in nature. 9.4 A Player who receives a Red Card in a match is not prevented from participating in older age matches on the same weekend, although it is expected that Clubs will exercise prudence, as appropriate General 9.6 In all instances, a Player ordered off shall leave the playing area immediately through the interchange area and in the case of a Yellow card can be replaced immediately and for Red Card after 15 minutes. The requirement for evening up of Players (as noted in rule 10.7) does not apply where a Player has been sent off and cannot be replaced. In the case of a Yellow card, the send-off is for a period of time equivalent to one

11 SYDNEY JUNIORS AFL GROUND MANAGEMENT GUIDE PAGE 11 quarter (see Rule 11.10), and the timekeeper shall indicate when the Player is permitted to resume playing. In this case, the Player must sit with the timekeeper. 9.7 In the event of a Player or Official failing or refusing to leave the field when ordered off, the Player or Official shall be reported for misconduct and the Player or Official s team shall forfeit the match. 9.8 In addition to Players, these rules also apply to Officials, and these Rules will be interpreted appropriately where the behaviour involves an Official or Officials. Audible Obscenities 9.9 AFL Sydney Juniors has a no tolerance attitude toward the use of audible obscenities, and the interpretation and application of the Laws and these Rules will reflect this no tolerance attitude. Players who use audible obscenities, regardless to whom they are directed, will be removed from the playing field for a period of time equivalent to one quarter and may be reported. If the obscenity is directed at the Umpire, the Player shall be reported. Injury Treatment (Pgs 27 & 36) Where a possible serious injury occurs to a Player and the Umpire calls a halt to play, the game will not continue until qualified medical personnel have removed the Player from the field. If the game is abandoned and the playing time of the game played is greater than two (2) quarters, then the final scores will be taken as that at the scheduled finish time. If the playing time is less than two (2) quarters and if the Coaches cannot agree on final scores and a winner, the game will be postponed and rescheduled if possible. Injury Treatment 19.4 All Clubs are to comply with the Infectious Diseases Policy as issued by Sports Medicine Australia, as issued from time to time and as adopted by the AFL NSW/ACT Commission. Additionally, it is strongly recommended that all Clubs have a copy of the Australian Dental Regions Dislodged Teeth guidelines available at all games so that dislodged teeth can be best preserved. Sports Trainers in Community Australian Football Policy (First Aid) 19.5 AFL Sydney Juniors has adopted the Sports Trainers in Community Australian Football Policy (Sports Trainers Policy) released by the AFL in All Clubs in AFL Sydney Juniors are required to comply with the Sports Trainers Policy Training courses are available to Clubs that do not have the appropriate access to the necessary resources as required under the Sports Trainers Policy The HOST club is responsible for ensuring compliance to the minimum requirements of Sports Trainers Policy for all games for which it is the Host Club There must be at least one person with the competencies in emergency management procedures and responses in attendance at any youth (Under 13 Under 17) game. The non Host club should confirm with the Ground Manager prior to the commencement of each game that the Host Club is able to comply with the requirements of this Rule. In the event that the HOST club is unable to comply with these requirements, then, if the non HOST club agrees, the game will be postponed or rescheduled.

12 SYDNEY JUNIORS AFL GROUND MANAGEMENT GUIDE PAGE Any decision to replay a postponed match must be agreed to by both Clubs and the Regional Committee within seven days of the scheduled match or match ratio applies. In the event that neither Club has the appropriate requirements at the scheduled commencement of the game a delayed start of 15 minutes may be applied. If there are games following the match it should be shortened appropriately to not delay the commencement of games following The game may proceed if the non HOST club is able to provide the appropriate resources under the Sports Trainers Policy If the non HOST club does not agree to postponement or cancellation of the game, then the non Host Club may claim a forfeit. The Rules in relation to forfeits will apply. If a game is started or played without the attendance of a First Aid Official (as defined), the HOST Club will lose match ratio for the game and may be subject to a maximum fine of $ The Sports Trainer Policy applies to all Youth matches (Under 13 Under 17) At Auskick Centres and Junior matches (up to and including Under 12), the attendance of a person with a current, nationally accredited first aid certificate* will generally satisfy the requirements if a person with a higher level trainer accreditation/qualification is not available. *Must include assessed competencies HLTFA301B (Apply First Aid) or HLTFA201 (Provide Emergency Life Support) In the event that a First Aid Official is required on the playing field in Youth or Junior games, the Field Umpire shall stop play at the first opportunity after being so advised and invite the First Aid Official (as defined) on to the field If first aid is needed and the advice is that the Player should not continue playing, the Coach shall abide by the decision of the First Aid Official The Sports Trainers Policy refers to first aid usually being provided by sports trainers or by other volunteers with medical or higher level allied health qualifications. If a Club has a person present in any of the following occupations, they are deemed as acceptable under the Policy: Nurse Physiotherapist A certified Sports Trainer St John Officer Paramedic Doctor Concussion Management Primary responsibility for the management of concussion lies with the Player s Club, and their Officials The guidelines in this Rule on concussion are based on a position statement on the management of concussion in Australian Football by the AFL Medical Officer s Association The guidelines should be adhered to at all times. Decisions regarding return to play after concussive injuries should only be made by a medical doctor with experience in concussive injuries

13 SYDNEY JUNIORS AFL GROUND MANAGEMENT GUIDE PAGE Any Player who has suffered a concussion or is suspected of having a concussion must be medically assessed as soon as possible after the injury and must not be allowed to return to play in the same game or train in the same practice session A concussed Player must not be allowed to return to training or playing before having a formal medical clearance provided to the Club. 10 Goal Rule (Pg 59) formerly Mercy Rule For the Ground Manager, they need to be mindful of the score and if the Mercy Rule should be activated. 10 Goal Rule The purpose of this Rule is to encourage Coaches, once an unassailable lead (10 goals/60 points) is reached during a game, to appreciate that it serves no purpose to inflict massive losses on their opposition but rather at that point in time to revert to experimenting with Players playing in different positions and to even-up the skill levels of the teams. This Rule replaces the previous Mercy Rule and will apply to all Competition Age Groups. Games on match day will proceed as a normal match, for the whole match period. Clubs will enter final scores into Footyweb as normal. After the game, the match points and percentage will be adjusted to ensure that no winning margin exceeds 10 goals/60 points. This will be completed by a ladder adjustment by AFL Sydney Juniors on the Monday following the fixture games. Calling for A Count A Count is a formal request that requires the number of players on the field to be counted. A count has to be called for by a team captain to the Field Umpire. On such occasion, time will be called off while the Umpires facilitate a count of each team. If the team who has called for the Count is found to be justified and the opposing team has extra players in the field of play, then the penalty is the opposition score is set back to zero. If the team who has called for the Count is found to be unjustified and the opposing team has the correct number of players in the field of play, then the penalty is that the team who called for the Count has their score set back to zero. Crowd Control Generally the crowds are well behaved throughout the season, but there are some rather passionate people. Sometimes some officials or spectators may need a small reminder that they need to just tone it down, but this can be done in a friendly manner. It is also a requirement to set a rope outside the boundary line to move the crowd back a minimum of 3 metres as a matter of safety.
